Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization (MACRA) Action Kit June 17, 2016 Medicare MACRA, Medicare 0 The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has proposed regulations to implement the Medicare Access and CHIP Reauthorization Act (MACRA). Under MACRA, most physicians will begin being paid under MACRA via the modified fee-for-service model called the Merit-based Incentive Payment System (MIPS). There is also an advanced alternative payment model (APM) pathway, in which physicians participating in payment models specifically approved by CMS can receive an annual bonus payment. The proposal currently plans to begin performance measurement for both MIPS and APMs on January 1, 2017. While these regulations are not yet final, the American Medical Association (AMA) has put together an action kit to help physicians prepare their practices for the transition to MACRA.
